At the end of the day, when you plug in to charge, what is your typical battery level on your 3gs?

You're either going to get so many different answers or no one is going to answer you, because there are a million threads on the 3GS battery life on here. I suggest you search the forums (3GS battery life, 3GS battery, etc.). It's also totally dependent on what you have turned on, whether you have a good signal.....so many variables.

Edit: Oh, didn't notice you had a poll. Because of what I said above about all the variables, the poll is almost meaningless.

Hehe, it's not totally meaningless. It'll show peoples' tolerances for low batteries (however, a better poll might be, "How often do you charge your iPhone?" -- me, at least once a day, and often twice).

There's an interesting curve developing here... still not enough votes to really tell much, but it looks like there are two spikes: 10%-20% and 50%-60%. Perhaps this reflects two distinct styles of usage, but perhaps there's something else at work here -- are those in the lower end using push? Are those in the upper end charging with the wall outlet rather than via USB? There are just way too many factors to provide any clear answers with such an informal poll and such a terribly small (and specific) sample. Nevertheless, it's interesting to see the appearance of these two distinct classes.

Um, there really aren't any spikes there, and every person's situation is different, but as for me: I generally leave all features turned on (bluetooth, 3G, wifi, everything). For me (and other people's situations may be different), there's not much point in having an iPhone if I'm going to cripple it. My phone went down to 12%, yesterday, after ~13.5 hours (from 100% charge), but I'll also often charge it during the day (but not yesterday, of course).
